Changing Workgroup name by pushing registry setting

I'm looking for an registry key or adm file or windows 2000 group policy
sothat i can change the PC's workgroup name (OS = Windows 2000) by means
of Zfd 3.2.
I tried finding the setting by using Snapshot, but no result

> I tried finding the setting by using Snapshot, but no result
A workgroup is not only a name, it is a peer-to-peer network
and all members must hold information about one another.
See this for instance:
http://tinyurl.com/3zzm2
Scroll down to:
"Peer-to-peer Network Environments"
All Workgoup information is stored in the local SAM-database.
You can not snapshot that.
AFAIK you can only change Workgroup manually.

Change Workgroup Name Smart Wi-Fi

Does anyone know how to change the workgroup name on the e4200 router using Smart Wi-Fi?
I want it to match my PC so I can access my Network shares on my WDTV.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Cool thanks for the feedback.
I've managed to sort my issue now. I was having trouble with the WDTV picking up my Network shares and read it was something to do with the workgroup name. It turns out that my partners laptop was taking over as the master browser. So I disabled this and made my main PC as the master. I could then access the network shares.
This was done by first going into the laptop and
- Start the registry editor (Start --> Run --> regedit.exe)
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser \Parameters
- Double click on MaintainServerList
- Set to NO
- Click OK
- Close the registry editor and reboot laptop
Next I went to my main PC and
- Start the registry editor (Start --> Run --> regedit.exe)
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser \Parameters
- Double click on MaintainServerList
- Set to YES
- Click OK
- Close the registry editor and reboot PC
I hope this helps others.

Changed iPhone name, now have two sets of iCloud bookmarks

Hi,
I recently restored my iPhone 5 and also decided to change the name from the default. I now have two sets of icloud bookmarks, one from the old iPhone name and one under the new name. This is present on both my iPhone and my Macbook Prp. How do I get rid of the iCloud bookmarks under the old iPhone name?
Thanks,

Well, I restored my iPhone again and used the first name, then deleted icloud from the phone. Restored again with the second name and that got rid of the duplicate phone bookmarks. I did the same with my Macbook Pro but I still have the bookmarks left from that one, even though it was the same name. I'm trying to find a way to just wipe everything from iCloud and start fresh.

Dynamically change icon name of push button

Hi,
I would like to ask how to dynamically change the icon name attribute of a push button in dialog programming. What is the syntax for assigning an icon name during runtime?
I am currently doing a multiple selection function for KNA1-KUNNR.
Initially, the icon name is ICON_ENTER_MORE. When the user picks up more than one customer, it should automatically change to ICON_DISPLAY_MORE. How can I do this?
here's the code i currently have:
DESCRIBE TABLE kunnr_ran LINES l_kunnr.
IF l_kunnr > 1.
      g_add_multiple = 'X'.
BT_MULT_CUST-icon_name = 'ICON_DISPLAY_MORE'.
ELSEIF l_kunnr = 1.
     CLEAR g_add_multiple.
BT_MULT_CUST-icon_name = 'ICON_ENTER_MORE'.
ENDIF.
The name of my pushbutton is BT_MULT_CUST.
The code in ** is not correct. I don't know the syntax in SAP. But that is how it is done in VB for example.
Thank you.
che =)

If you have not found your answer already, please try the following:
1) In screen layout painter: for the pushbutton in question (i.e. pb_multi_select), mark the "Output field" on the program attributes tab in the attributes window for the pushbutton. Make sure that its visible length is at least 2 too. This will "gray out" the "Text" and other fields.
2) In the TOP INCLUDE of the module program: add a variable for the pushbutton that is of type "icons-text" and don't forget to include <icons>. Below is an example
INCLUDE <icon>
DATA: pb_multi_select TYPE icons-text.
3) In a module called in the PBO modules for the screen that needs its button changed, call the function "ICON_CREATE" and pass at minimum the name of the icon and the field that you specified in step 2. Below is an example using the icon "ICON_DISPLAY_MORE", "ICON_ENTER_MORE", and a flag variable "MULTI_SEL_INFO_EXISTS" that indicates if any multiple selection information has already been entered. It would be set by the program (not automatically, but by coding) prior to the "IF" statement:
IF multi_sel_info_exists = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
         name = 'ICON_DISPLAY_MORE'
      IMPORTING
         result = pb_multi_select.
ELSE.
CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
         name = 'ICON_ENTER_MORE'
      IMPORTING
         result = pb_multi_select.
ENDIF.
You can change the button as you see fit with multiple different calls inside of "IF" or "CASE" statements. Please see documentation for "ICON_CREATE" for other parameters.
Hope this helps,
Brian

How do I change the name I have called my MacBook Air so I can add 11" and 13" into the title of whose computer this is for more clarity when I set up Time Machine and save to it with both computers? Both are named with "my name and MacBook Air"

I'm still learning the whole Mac thing but these are great machines! I purchased a MacBook Air 13" and then thought I should also get a MacBook Air 11" for travel. When I set it up at the Apple store I told the assistant the exact same name for each machine, i.e., "my name and MacBook Air." What I want to do is go back in and rename both of them adding the 11" and 13" designation to the name so that when I set up Time Machine or whatever else I know exactly which machine is what. I'm sure it is very simple but I cannot seem to figure it out. Help please. Thanks.

Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

In sets (t-code GS01-04): How to change Field name

HI,
I have created sets for rule in validation by t-code GS01. Where I have given Tbale name BSEG and Field name KOSTL(Cost Center No). Now, I want to change field name SAKNR (GL NO) instead of cost center. When I am trying to change field name t-code GS02, there is field name is in display mode and no way to change it.
As I have lot of entries in each set, so that creation of new sets is very hard job again. Further when I trying to create new sets by reference it didnt change the table name and field name.
Please provide me a solution.
Khalid

Hi,
Hope it is not possible, logically total field is changing and the dependent entrie will not stay as it is. I don't think this is possible.
Eventhough the values are same but the fields are different.

Has anybody found out how to change the workgroup name in 10.5?

I have been trying to connect to XP machine shared folders and it is not working.
I've tried using smb and it gives connection error or says Ithe user has not permission in the machine

I see that in 10.4 it asked for DOMAIN/ Workgroup name , and this option has disappeared in 10.5

Cannot change short name of computer in Workgroup Manager

When a computer is bound to Open Directory on the client side I cannot change the short name of the computer. If the computer is added through Workgroup Manager I do not have this problem. When I try to change the name it reverts back to the old name and sometimes adds a .local at the end of it, but the new name I choose is displayed on the left side. When I log out and log back in the name on the left side reverts back to the old name.
Could it be the way I am naming the computers? I am using dept-username.location as a way to name all computers. Why does this problem only occur on computers that have been bound through the LDAPv3 service on the workstation?

I can't comment for sure on this one; but my educated guess may be that you're causing problems with your DNS (or DHCP) by specifying an extra dot in the name - Although I can't say for certain as my OD doesn't run my DNS.
Try using dept-username-location.domain.local instead of dept-username.location.domain.local.
Have you checked the console output to see if any errors are being returned?

Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express

Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express please? I now work in a UN compound and my network is my own name, would prefer some anonymity so seeking to change the wifi network name that others might see.

Hi mkl1961,
Happy Holidays! The article below will explain how to reset your Airport Express and change the network and base station names back to their defaults.
Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3728
What default settings will my AirPort base station have after a hard or factory default reset?
AirPort base stations are set to request an IP address by DHCP.
AirPort base station passwords are "public."
AirPort base station names revert to "base station xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
AirPort base station network names are "Apple Network xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
*A MAC (Media Access Control) address, also known as a "network ID," is a unique hardware identification number for a network port. You can find the wireless and Ethernet network IDs on the printed label on the bottom or side of the device.

Pushing registry changes with NAL

I had posted a question about changing IE 6.0 home page back using NAL and
Rolf Lidvall told me that I could change the registry setting. I tried to
use the Snapshot program to view that I changed the registry but it does
not work. What is the best way to accomplish this?
Just wondering,

Hey that worked great, just one thing though. I told it to force it to
run and distribute always. Will that check the setting every so often and
change the setting back if it is changed?

Workgroup Name

How can I change my mini workgroup name? I guess it's using a default name as 'mygroup' but I want to change it.
Also, how do I find out what is the computer name, or host name?
Thnx.
Mini Mac 512mb ram Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a shot when I'm home.
For host name, you can open up a terminal window and
type "hostname". In OS X, when you enable windows
sharing, it'll tell you the winderz netbios path used
to access the share in the bottom of the dialog box.
To change the workgroup name, you can edit
/etc/smb.conf once you have the Windows sharing set
the way you like.

What happens when you try to change the Shuffle's name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes?
Is your iPod set up to manually manage its contents. For more information, see your iPod's User Guide.

I gave my wife a new Ipad 2 she gave me hers old one How do I change her name to mine and get access to my emails

I gave my wife an ipad 2 she gave me her old ipad how do I change her detail to me and access my email account on her Ipad
This will be I guess the first of many questions
Thanks

You really should download and read the user guide that roaminggnome gave you the link for in the post above.
If you want to totally start from scratch and erase all of her content go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This removes everything from the device and returns it to out of the box status. You can also restore the iPad as a new device in iTunes and that erases everything as well. This article explains that process.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If you want to rename the iPad, connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Double click on the text of the iPad's name on the left grey source list of iTunes and you can change the name of the iPad. When you are finished typing in the new name, hit the return key on your keyboard. This article explains it for you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3965
You will want to delete her mail accounts on the iPad if you have not done so already and set up your own mail accounts. This article will tell you how to do that.
